Maple Leaf Rag on a Real HONK TONK Piano | Vinheteiro
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2022
- I played Maple Leaf Rag on a real honky tonk piano. It is my old 1887 piano. This piano is worn out, full of imperfections. But it's in excellent condition for its age, which makes me happy to record period songs like Maple Leaf Rag on it. Other songs by Scott Joplin are also very good on this piano. Hope you like it!

Somehow, I felt inexplicably surprised that he managed to get through that entire piece without being forced to hide inside the piano to avoid a comedically-escalating saloon-fight.
LOL.
_[ fight abruptly stops ] [ a few beats of silence ]_
*"'EY! PIANNY MAN!* Git outta there and keep playin!"
_[ pianist slowly peeks out of piano, sees everyone in the saloon glaring at him, some reaching for sidearms ]_
_[ Maple Leaf Rag resumes ] [ saloon brawl resumes, explosively ]_
@@HaloInverse nice
...while not missing a beat or a false note.
I heard that in saloon fights, there’s a rule where you can’t shoot at or near the pianist
You know it’s a complex piece when Vinheteiro doesn’t play it while staring into your sole
I’m glad Scott Joplin is being more and more recognized as one of the greats he truly is
Why is he staring at my foot?
Let him be it's better when he's not stirring at me😂😂 or is it. 😂
Scott's pieces have very very jumpy left hands. If you don't look at your jumps, you gotta be a reaaally great and used to his pieces.
@@andybaldman your fish, actually
Maple leaf rag isn't complicated imo. It's the jumps in the left hand that makes him look at the keys pretty sure.
Wait he’s not only looking at the keyboard but has the sheet music too? Congratulations to Mr. Joplin for pulling off a near impossible feat!
Wait? You think the guy playing the piano is Scott Joplin?
Not at all. If I have to explain the joke it's not funny.
Most likely new to his repertoire. Wait few months, and he will play it while staring into camera. If only rehersed enough. I have noticed one or two minute moments of hesitation.
This is pretty common, to have the music on the desk in case of a memory lapse. This piece is very hard to play without looking at the hands, the left hand jumps are very difficult
This isn’t classical, he’d obviously just sightread this since he probably didn’t even practice this enough to perform by heart unlike classical pieces.
You know its a hard piece when vinheteiro is actually looking at the instrument he is playing
only the left hand jumps in the trio require you to look at the piano
Scott Joplin’s music was among my favorite to learn as a pianist. I liked this cause I closed my eyes & imagined being in a tiny old school club hearing someone play that good ragtime 🥰

A special comment
Im a violinist but my dying dream is learning good old Joplins ragtime

@@sagar1992 I HATE when I get misdirected to some dammed troll video. 😒
My dad played the accordion and my mother the piano. My dad would come home from work and chop out the Maple Leaf Rag on my mothers piano and he got to where he could play it very well over time. Fond memories. He is gone now, but this helped me remember.
Thanks for sharing :)
I think now I would try on the accordion
MY GREAT GRAND UNCLE PLAYED MANY INSTRUMENTS FROM BANJO TO ACCORDEON. HE TOO WOULD COME TO HIS SISTER'S HOUSE AND PLAY FOR ME. THEN GRANDMA WOULD JOIN (SHE PLAYED PIANO). I REMEMBERED THIS PIECE BY MR. JOPLIN SCOTT. IT WAS ALSO PLAYED IN BLACK & WHITE TV SHOWS LIKE CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND CINEMA 8MM FILMS THAT MY GREAT GRAND UNCLE OWNED. THOSE WERE DAYS OF CAREFREE LIVING.
❤❤❤❤❤🐑🙏📖
I think of my grandfather when I here the Entertainer
Me too
I've always been a big fan of ragtime and I think Joplin fully deserves his place along the great composers in history.
Hear! Hear!
Amen.
Sadly, you will hear it only occasionally on today's airwaves.
yeah
Apropos. Joplin's music just transports us to another time and place. Nice on that old piano! He and Sousa were certainly two defining influences of that age. The ragtime king and the march king.
Every art form, once got in hands of Americans, turns shit. The snooker becomes pool, sculpture becomes golden toilet, piano masterpiece is rug/rag. It's sad.
@@seanleith5312 Depends of course on how you look at it, but there is a kernel of truth to what you say. However, no matter what country you are from, there is always music that will define certain periods of time. And of course, one persons trash can be another persons treasure. People are just people and time doesn't change that very much at all.
@@seanleith5312 dude what the fuck? Lmao
@@seanleith5312 Who asked? You seem salty for no real reason.
But is so sad that there were so many composers, and in the end, two decades of music is distilled into... Sousa and Joplin.
At least we remember Mozart's contemporaries.
Thank you, Master, for playing a whole piece!
I too, enjoyed your spending a more substantial time with one tune. Please offer us more. Snippets are interesting, however, I would more enjoy listening to your playing at greater length.
Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏
I never knew TheMaple Leaf Rag had so many sections!
@@sherrybirchall8677 Same!
@@sherrybirchall8677 I didn't either.
I feel as if I'm in an Old West saloon listening to this. A toast to Scott Joplin and Vinheteiro!
"This piano is worn out, full of imperfections." In other words, on THIS instrument, It sounds like it would have to the great majority of the Ragtime audience, Circa 1906 or so! 👍😊👍
No, back then those pianos would have been new and in much better condition... pianos deteriorate with age, unfortunately, which is part of why it's so cheap getting an old piano.
@@Mnnvint A piano in a "honky tonk" would likely NOT have been new or in the best condition. That was my point. People in the early 20th century were not hearing Ragtime on a Steinway in a concert hall, They heard it on old instruments in old bars in Mississippi somewhere.
They deliberately removed the felt from the hammers and drove carpet tacks into them to increase the volume in those old dance halls or honky tonks as they were called. The term honky tonk piano is a propper noun as much as a verb.
@@nowhereman7813 "They deliberately removed the felt from the hammers and drove carpet tacks into them" - I think that that's complete BS.
@@Mnnvint "back then those pianos would have been new and in much better condition..." - Well, not really. A piano tuner probably almost never saw those things plus in a place full of people and cigarette smoke (i.e. big humidity changes and a big source of pollution) probably meant that the pianos' tuning deteriorated rather quickly anyway.
My Grandpa, who was born in 1902 and heard Maple Leaf Rag when it was "new", used to play this for me as a child on his honky tonk piano. As a result, I quickly grew to love Ragtime music and Scott Joplin rags in particular. I own a 1904 Aeolian player just so I can hear "MLR" just the way Joplin played it in 1900. Today, I am nearing retirement and look forward to dedicating my remaining time on earth to learning how to play this magic tune. Vinheterio may well be my instructor for this one!
How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? Because the fact that your grandpa was born in 1902 blows my mind!
My grandfather was born in 1893 and Im 40..lol...sadly he died a year after I was born. Served in WW1 and his sons served in WW2. Crazy how that works. He couldn't read or write but he made it work. Built his house on his own which is standing today.
I love Scott Joplin's music, beautifully performed on this original piano.
I like this nostalgic piano sound. You can determine if the piano is classic and modern. Classic ones or the older one has that tingly thing in your ear when you hear it.
They don't always have "that tingly thing" though. Sometimes the strings sound "warmer" and less fresh, and less crisp (due to the decline of the mute hammers). On some of the notes on my piano, I can kind of hear the hammers moving.
@@yeudler41 ..and sometimes, even tho older pianos, are just on tune....
@@Lyserdigi I didn't know that was allowed :P
@@yeudler41 I completely agree.
Sometimes they have push pins in the felt to make it twang. Others are modified with a sort of fringe curtain with rivets on it that can be lowered between the hammers and strings.
The fact that he's not looking away from the piano means this song is really hard. My son played this for a piano recital, I feel validated in his choice of piece now. XD
The left hand accompany in this piece is insane (especially the jumps).
I’m a pianist. This piece is super hard. My forearms burn when playing it; like it’s quite a mental and physical workout. Lol.
@@thomascraig6814 wow I felt exactly the same - I've always thought the pain in my arms after playing this piece was all 'cause my skill isn't enough, but now I figure that's not true! (btw Joplin the Great always said "it's never right to play ragtime fast", but who would listen to him? LOL)
@@freewheeler1728 Do you try to play it as fast as possible?
"The fact that he's not looking away from the piano means this song is really hard." - Indeed it is, yeah.
In the late 1980s I was on a skiing trip, staying in Durango, Colorado. One of the bars in Durango had a guy playing ragtime all night on a piano that sounded like this and I wanted to never leave. Scott Joplin literally lifted an entire genre of music into being with his talent and skill, and I love the sound. Thanks.
My brother learned this and went on to become a great pianist. One of my fondest memories with him is when we went to the Scott Joplin Museum and he played this on the piano there. So, so good on this piano, too! 1887? Awesome!
It’s as if the spirit of every musicians song he plays comes and plays for him! Amazing
Lord Vinheteiro is the piano-shaman. You can see from his eyes there is no soul in his body, only the musical masters of yesteryear.
So fun! Those poor people in 1887 were missing the top three notes of the piano.
bite of 87??! golden freddy bit those off for sure
but did they have the magic and the mystery of potato knishes?
Rat Boy, the man, the legend
Where did they put them?
Maple Leaf Rag was published in 1899.
I've loved this piece since my piano teacher tried to stop me learning it because it wasn't "proper" music. I never did get the hang of those jumping left-hand chords and am envious of how effortless you make it look. Bravo, sir :)
Joplin was a man who certainly knew how to make the best use of both hands.
That music was my late father's go - to. Almost cried when I heard it. Funny what still hits the heart after the years.
It's May 2024.No matter how many times I listen to this , I never get tired of it. I love Scott Joplin 's music. Beautiful workmanship. I like this nostalgic piano sound ....from Fort Worth, Texas
Wonderful! I love Maple Leaf Rag and to hear it played well on a period piano is just perfect.
This is the longest time i see him not staring into my soul
the quality of the playing is just about the same as the stare: soul-boring and perfect.
This is beautiful!!! I was just talking about being western outlaws and playing old ragtime in an old saloon on an old piano and this immediately popped up 😂♥️♥️♥️ Love you Vin!
Computer: "I hear ya...there you go". 🤣
This is quite possibly my favorite arrangement of sound, ever. This has been my favorite song since birth, 1973, when The Sting was very popular. Hearing you play this on this instrument is as good as it gets.
Thank you, Sir.
This is lovely! Also very happy you’re posting full-length pieces again and not only snippets. 👍
I need more of you playing from a distance via strings!
Thank you for sharing music with us, especially with your brilliant twist of humor. I just read about Scott Joplin. Fascinating fellow.
My mom (who was a piano education MAJOR in college) has the Reader's Digest “Great Music’s Greatest Hits” piano book. When I was a kid, this is one of the songs she would play from that book (although it isn't the WHOLE SONG), & my brother & I would dance in the living room!
I have "GMGH", as wel as many other RD Songbooks, and LOVE to play Dan Fox's arrangement of "Maple Leaf Rag" on my Allen church organ - with full Tremulants. It sure is fun!
How gloriously raffish this instrument sounds! SO atmospheric. . . . . .Love it. . .
My folks enjoyed many types of music and passed this down to my sisters and myself. Mom would play this on her piano from time to time, and Dad would be sitting and listening and tapping his toe right along with the music. Thirty years or so later, when everyone was getting cellphones, I looked through the possible ring tones, and my phone had the "Maple leaf Rag" as a ring tone. Done! Never heard another phone with that ring tone until I got together with one of my sisters and her family. The "Maple leaf Rag" started playing, but it wasn't my phone. Yep, it was my sister's phone. Thanks Mom and Dad for giving us a love for such a range of music!
This classic will never get old.
Thanks a lot of for this interpretation of this melody from the past , but it never get old!👍🏼🤓
I love this piece of music!! Scott Joplin was a genius!
I really thank you for this great video! I love the maple leaf rag and to get the opportunity to hear it on an old piano like that is just perfect! Thank you so much.
Hope to hear more Joplin on this piano!
This now my favourite Joplin performance. Takes you right back to the era.
Oh man this brings back some memories! My dad had this decade-long fixation with Scott Joplin when I was a kid, and he'd play Maple Leaf and Fig Leaf on his piano just about every day.
Such a happy piece of music!
Beautiful! Something about pianos like these make ragtime so fun. Great playing!
This sounds amazing!
What a gorgeous piano, from a time when beauty was not just the sound, but the style.
Lovely!
🎹🎼🎶🎵🔉🔊
The white tie really made it...
Very crisp playing. It's always a joy to hear a professional play.
From an aged guitarist to a virtuoso; you, Sir, are amazing.
One of my favorite pieces of music. I just love the way it sounds on that piano.
Scott Joplin sound real good in a old piano.
AWESOME!!!!! I wished you had more videos like this.
Superb. Classic music at its finest.
You are the greatest, fun to watch, and highly skilled, never seen anyone like you. Something to be proud of, keep it up!!!
How i love rag-time, it’s always been one of my “grow up” styles; and i’m fond of it. Wonderful performance!
IT was a real pleasure to hear the entire piece played all the way through including the repeats. And no, he was reading the music, the full piece goes on a couple more pages. Good work, excellent tempo.
Pure joy!
Man that sounds soooo good on that piano…wow!! Love it! Great playing Lord!
Scott Joplin sempre soará melhor em um piano antigo e desafinado.
E verdade.
Splendid music! Wow just amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Abraços a você nosso Compatriota do Brasil, Parabéns o seu talento é incrível e representa muito bem nossa Nação 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Good to my ears.
Good to my souls.
I’ve always loved Scott Joplin’s awesome rags. Well played sir!
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! And you do it so well! Thank you
It’s just some thing fun, innocent, optimistic and cheerful about ragtime. Thank you for gifting me with this great rendition of a favourite!
This is my favourite piano piece ever it's so catchy I could listen to it for hours without getting bored
One of my all time favorite songs to listen to. Thank you for performing the entire piece!!!
My favorite ragtime tune. I think I've known this tune since I was maybe 4.
Your performance is out of this world. I loved it !!
Amazing I love Scott Joplin thank you my Lord 🙏x
Man, those tunes and the sound of that old piano just fit together so darn well. I regret this kind of music isn't common any more, it'd beat the heck out of the piped-in stuff in restaurants and stuff we have today!
I 've been listening to Scott Joplin for decades! He is so wonderful!
I just watch your older version of maple rag yesterday and keep listening to it as my favorite. And now theres another version of it. What a coincidence
Such a great sound!
Also great to hear you play an entire piece of music! More please!!! 😀👍😀
💛Actually one of my favorite recordings of Maple Leaf Rag. Damn, Lord Vinheteiro, you’ve been holding back until now
authentic sound [i imagine]. Scott Joplin compositions are dear to my heart. thank you bob
Bravo sir! Absolutely perfect. 👍
Fantastic, really enjoyed hearing a piece played from start to finish 😊
Very good job Maestro !
One of the most classic pieces of music, and just such a fun tune!
Forever and ever my favourite ragtime song. Never ceases to put a smile on my face whenever I hear it :D
Really good, I hope you'll also play some pieces by J. Scott and J. Lamb. There's are underrated rag composers nowadays.
You bet we like it! It would be awesome if you recorded Scott's whole production to share with us 🥺😍
My mentor did just that. First black guy to do so. William Appling, who chose to ‘go back to the original recipe.’
Superb. RUclips has brought so many talented musicians to the world stage, and I'm really thankful for the opportunity to witness their virtuosity.
Awesome! That piano is perfect for this song too!
Mannn I love these old pianos! Awesome work bro 👍
The way it was meant to be played! Simply beautiful! So Those piano sound a bit tinny but you play so well it was wonderful!
He doesn't stare at us, meaning this must be complex to play😉😉 great video!
I forgot how many times I listened to this beautiful playing. Thank you for playing.
This never get old!
I love Ragtime, specially Scott Joplin's
I wish for a little series here with that special piano
A primeira vez que ouvi essa música foi a 21 anos atrás, nas cenas de comédia da novela o Cravo e a Rosa. Era muito divertido.
This is a great tune, old pianos have great personalities
Pensa num cara que gosta de Scott Joplin sou eu 🙋🏻♂️. Vinheteiro é o que melhor interpreta. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! You made my day a happy day ❤️
From Classical music, to another form of Classic music.... Brilliant! And what a piece to play on that fine antique instrument... Loved it!! 👏👏👏 😎🇬🇧
Wow, for a "worn out" piano, that sounds FANTASTIC! And totally Perfect for that song!!
O que mais me impressiona é a memoria do Vinheteiro , pois essa obra é complexa e agente vê que ele não está lendo a partitura . Impresionante !!
A memória é o forte dele sem dúvidas
Great rendition. I used to play this, but haven't for 20 years. Wouldn't know where to start now! Well done, sir.
Bravo Maestro, Bravo! 👍👍
What fun! Thank you sharing this wonderful video!
Qualquer música em qualquer piano torna-se uma obra de arte quando tocada por você! Parabéns pelo talento e esforço de se aprimorar cada vez mais.. Abraços!
Great composition and playing👍 Bravo👏
You sir are simply great,plus I love ragtime music. I could listen as long as you play. Thank you.
Bravo! Love it! Joplin's ragtime pieces sound best when played on an old piano like yours!
Scott Joplin was brilliant.
